My robo hamster.....

Question

I have a female roborvski (I just say robo since I can never seem to spell the full thing out right) named Boo. Shes kinda young, got her on Halloween (since her names Boo =P ) when she only about 2 -4 months old.

But my question is, I've read that robo hamster love corn and such, and I've seen pics of robo's just sitting there eating a piece of corn or something. My robo will never eat in front of me if she knows I'm there. She'll be sitting in her food dish, and if I stick my hand in there, she'll run around her cage and find somewhere to hide. I know they are extremely skittish, and such. But when I try to feed her things when she's outside of her cage, or even hand her a piece of something INSIDE her cage, she won't take it! Only once has she eaten something, a cheerio, that I've given her.....

Does anyone know any little foods that robo hamsters absolutely love and won't just stick there nose up at it? I want to be able to hold her, or atleast take her out of her cage and let her sit somewhere with a little plate of some snacks.

Sooo yeah, any help on the situation?

Thanks in advance ;D.

if you want her to trust you you should feed it foods and treats with your hand like make look at the treat while you put it in the cage. it will now know that you feed it and she will start trustig you!

you can give them dark greens like lettuce broccoli and even carrots. by the way i love the name it is so cute. first off i you want the hamster to get used i might take 1 year. it will see oyu put your hand inside the cage and put food in its bowl. eventually as it sees that you give it the food it will begin to trust you. by some hamster treats too i heard they love yogurt drops.
